Bangkok history in a few lines:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

Origins:<\/strong><\/h3>

Bangkok began as a small port and trading community on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in the 15th century.<\/p>

Capital of the kingdom:<\/strong><\/h3>

In 1782, King Rama I moved the capital from Thonburi to the east bank of the river and founded Rattanakosin, the historical core where the Grand Palace was built.<\/p>

19th Century:<\/strong><\/h3>

Under the reign of Rama IV and Rama V, Bangkok was modernized with roads, canals and opening to international trade, while maintaining its independence from colonial powers.<\/p>

20th Century:<\/strong><\/h3>

It grew as a political and economic center, with rapid urbanization and the arrival of modern infrastructure.<\/p>

Present:<\/strong><\/h3>

Today it is a global metropolis that combines historic temples, traditional markets and skyscrapers, reflecting the blend of Thai tradition and modernity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

It's a chaotic city where a 7km journey by Grab can take 50 minutes; there's a lot of traffic.<\/p>

People are a bit sly in this city, unlike Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai. The best way to get around is by subway, but we found it a bit confusing; the workers aren't very friendly and their English isn't very good.<\/p>

The food wasn't anything special compared to the rest; it's not cheap, but BK has the biggest menus at similar prices.<\/p>

I recommend getting a massage, but ideally, it should be given by an older person, so you don't have to worry about them offering you other things, haha. It cost us about \u20ac9 per person, and we were able to pay by card.<\/p>

The hotel was located in a red-light district; we didn't know this until we left the massage and went to find something to eat. They have no problem snatching your boyfriend out of your hands and groping him in front of you if necessary.<\/p>

We went to see a traditional Thai dance since it was included with the entrance to the Grand Palace and we really enjoyed it.<\/p>

Since we were already overwhelmed with temples, we only saw the one inside the Palace. It worked out well for us because you have to pay to enter the other temples, and they're very expensive. The difference is the Buddha's position.<\/p>

We took a day trip on the boat that crosses the city, stopping at the most popular tourist spots. Highly recommended.<\/p>
